I have a 256×256 image which is just black and white stripes, each stripe being 4 pixels wide. I want to have stripes at 45deg as opposed to vertical, so I do a free transform and rotate. This antialiases, so my nice crisp stripes get fuzzy edges. Rotating the whole canvas does the same thing. Can I prevent this with PS7.01?

Yes. Edit your preferences so that the default interpolation method is Nearest Neighbor.

Remember to set it back to Bicubic when you’re done!
